Another round with bad referee decisions

Goal scorers


Last weekend was, unfortunately, another round
with incorrect referee decisions.  In the game  Sevilla-Espanyol,
which ended in 1-1, Espayol had a goal annuled, that clearly was legal.



In the game Barcelona-Zaragoza, that ended in 2-2, after Zaragoza had led 0-2 there was considerable controversy over the penalty that the referee, Megía Dávila, awarded Barcelona.  Several critics claimed it was invented by Dávila, but the review at Monday night's El Dia Despues (EDD) on Canal+ would appear to indicate it was indeed a correct decision.  However, the expulsion of Toledo in the 76th minute was clearly unwarranted.



Atlético de Madrid was also the beneficiary of an unwarranted
penalty that enabled Fernando Torres to score, and swing the game
in their favour.  They ended up winning 0-2.  Torres upset
a lot of people with his unsportmanlike celebration.



Real Madrid won comfortably at home, against Mallorca, 4-0,
with all the goals scored by Brazilians: Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos (2),
and the last by Baptista, who celebrated his 24th birthday the day before.



Beckham continues to play great, and assisted in three of the
four goals, and is gaining increasing recognition for his great passes, and contribution to the goal scoring, in addition to his participation in defence.  The photo  shows Carlos, Baptista and Ronaldo celebrating one of the goals.
